I read the previous black screen posting and have a similar but more extreme problem.
The system was working fine last night. This morning on power up, POST'd normally, I have an audible anouncement of the Operating system starting but then I get a Black screen and a cursor and nothing. I can't even get it into safe mode.
The weird thing is using a utility Bart PE I can start the PC and run the file management utility within it and the C: drive behaves normally and even allows me to copy files to the other drive.
So it seems to me as though all the hardware is ok and the disc and files are intact.
Any ideas?
